Cairobserver focuses on the modern architectural heritage of Cairo. Check it out for a discussion of why the current renovation of the Cairo train station is a disaster. I also completely agree with the suggestion that the NDP building's burnt outer shell be saved and incorporated into future plans for the building, as a striking reminder of the revolution (and the people's anger).
